The Best Automatic Chicken Coop Door

Keep your chickens safe and secure with an automatic coop door.

In one of my last chicken updates I shared the Chickcozy automatic coop door before I installed it. I previously used a model similar to this door. The pros are that it’s an extremely affordable automatic door, however it’s not always reliable. The Chickcozy door is the ultimate door because of its many settings. You can set it to automatically open and close at sunrise and sunset, on a timer, plus it has an override button allowing you to open or close the door at any moment.

I currently use the timer setting on the door because of poor past experiences. Whenever I’m out of town, it always seems like there is one chicken that decides to stay out a little late and the door would previously close and lock out the chicken. Then panic would ensue and I’d have to text a neighbor to go grab the rogue chicken. I would always see this on my backyard camera and immediately be stressed. Now with the later timer setting, I don’t allow the door to close at night until about 30 minutes after the sun sets – now the chickens all safely make it back to their coop.

I like that I can override my timer feature at any point during the day if I want to lock the girls out of their garden and keep them in their run. During a lockdown (when we spot a hawk lurking nearby), I like to make sure the girls are all safely tucked inside their run.

Batteries for the automatic doors always last for a very long time – months and months. However, I like that you can see the percentage of battery life that is left.

If you’re looking for a new coop door that’s guaranteed to work, give the Chickcozy automatic chicken coop door a try.
